Chrissy, Cyn, & Connie, DAd & Mum FOR THOSE I LOVE & THOSE WHO LOVE ME When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see & do You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years.

And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear All of my love around you soft & clear. And then, when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and say "Welcome Home". "My MoM" Mom, These past 2 months, I will never forget. Not since I was young, have I spent so much time with my family. For just about every minute of every day, we were together, Connie, David, Chrissy and I....your 4 kids, with their parents. It really was the most awesome experience. It was an honour to take care of you mom, and it was about "Family" and "Love". We laid on your bed, laughed with you, we cried, fought amongst ourselves occasionally, then cried some more, made up, and became closer than ever.....and mom, you heard it all! And those last days - mom - maybe you didn't say too much, but you were still listening to our every word, the music, Eddie, because, we watched you raise your eyebrows, felt you squeeze our hands, and when you heard me getting ready to put drops in your eyes.....suddenly, before I even had a chance to approach the bedside, they were squeezed shut very tightly. And the message was clear! I love you mom, and I told you one day, on the phone, that I'm not really losing you, because, like Jim Morrison's quote, "No-one Here Gets Out Alive!" And we can't all go together - so one at a time, absolutely every one of us will arrive to reunite. In the meantime, I was driving along by myself the other day, crying, feeling sorry for myself about something, and all of a sudden I felt embarassed because I realized that now you could see me All The Time!! And then I smiled and laughed. I am going to miss you tho, so I'll cry lots anyway, and we'll laugh too mom. Love Cyndi I will think of you and miss our early morning phone chats. We both liked the morning mom, and you were always there to answer the phone, no matter how early. Thursdays at the mall, you'd wait for us.....and I will treasure the mittens that you made me forever. I love you. Cyndi
